Casing performance - Achieving good indoor climate with lower operating costs

Six features define the quality and performance of air handling unit casings. To achieve a good indoor climate with low operating cost the ventilation system must be designed and installed in a proper way so that energy losses are minimised and air quality preserved. This means that it must be air …
